LIZ TAKES AN AWAYDAY ON THE DANCE TO FRANCE

    Liz ruts harbour cool: DO IT DOGGIE/DO IT NOW NOW.

No Soviet sowlust here, honked high-tide Liz, smothering

       Johnson’s baby swandown talc on plastic

            plexitits & nipple neon.

Let’s burn a boozy bed in Honfleur

                                   quarrelled hardhat Liz:

                                    gleaming

       visors snapped a skyblue halt.

   Liz crapped on Calais campgrass: BACK YR BRASCUM

       ANTLER ROSIN

                    INTO THE TARTAN PENCIL HOLDER

           WHERE MY SHINY SHOULDERS

      LEAVE THE GRANULATED WHEEL.

Sturmed Brunhilde Liz: dump your Marks & Sparks safari suit

             in the single sleeping-bag.

        Pull the pin by pushing in.

   Frig the trigger & make it bigger.

     Skim the quim & make it swim.

                Flit the clit.

  MAKE IT SLICKER & MAKE IT QUICKER.

Lanzarote Liz firing on all Sealink cylinders stoking up the coke hole

                 on duty free lust & gin!!

NAZI neon burned the blitzkrieg heart Liz hid.

   Mascara fish-eye stares sank each blondette from the console desk.

Pulping guns prodded every uplift bra.

  Liz longed for the double-fist grip looking down with magnum force.

   Trigger me, I’m hotter than a cartridge, wooed voodoo Liz.

                Let me bead a victim or I can’t come.

     Fill my chambers. Pump me redhot. Blast

           each lipstick quimtrick.

 

   Lovely, lisped Liz, hissing through the air her baton rouge.

                   Handcuff jewellery gleamed.

     Snap me tight, I’ll swing on your wrist.

   No hanky-panky Beano comic dramas in this cylinder

                                 of light

                                 Liz touched up

   the steely Peenemunde penis

                                she would rocket

                                if she could.

 

Zap me, strap me, tie me down. I’ll struggle! Spit!

         Venom is the tricky horn in me.

Make my head strange, my armband hands & Stuka divebomb sex.

Bind with silkstraps this fuming lustbulb till high-heeled cows

          come home. Butter me

now & DO IT doggie pigpig, REALLY FAST &

      KNIFESHARP!

   Don’t meadow me with glebe lips & a farting lute!

   I haven’t got TCHAIKOVSKY TITS OR A DELIUS DANGLING

         TWAT.

Keep yr Poussin pussy pushes for the underarm deodorant queens.

   Talcum me, certainly, but send it down like SNOW-GRIT.

La Liz lectured: Beethoven’s a bang,

                       but Schubert

                       is a thigh-suck,

                       mortgaged

                       to the hilt

                       with brains.

 

Sperm it, chunkdream, make the chartreuse sweaterdress sticky juice-gum.

  Spastic yr twitch-root, pinkspam truncheon luncheonette.

      KNIT ME NICELY AND I’LL BELT! BUTTON

            YOU UP!

      FONDLE ALL THE ESTEE LAUDER BINT

            TRASH & I’LL SQUEAL!

      Keep their cinnamon eyelid rivers at bay. I’m clean.

  Beribbon all these treacherous gunbarrel babies, & I’ll stink

  yr nose with puckered bumjug curds, creamy ever so!

You’ll not flail me with missionary scissor vulva sucks, nipple

  postcards so sweet to be here, fucktoes swooning on the latch.

     Let your ferret free to pug & drum. Nip & stoat.

     Rivet, skewer, wheel in the screws.

                         Thing it, HARD.

                    Groin me with a blade.
